The Retarded Running Horse, also known as the Two Legged Horse, is a surreal and absurdist meme featuring a poorly photoshopped image of a horse that appears to be galloping using only its hind legs. The original image surfaced in the early 2010s on platforms like Tumblr and Reddit, quickly becoming a staple of 'weird internet' humor due to its bizarre anatomy and joyful yet frantic expression. It is typically used to represent someone rushing somewhere with chaotic energy, or to express a state of being completely overwhelmed yet moving forward anyway. Its enduring popularity stems from the sheer visual ridiculousness that requires little context to be funny.
